Dental Microscope

Having an eye for detail in the dental world is crucial, especially when it comes to more complex procedures like dental implant placement and examinations to determine the extent of damage caused by infections. With the ability to amplify our experts’ natural sight, allowing them to see in greater detail during crucial treatments, patients can trust that each treatment they receive is planned and executed to perfection.

iTero® Digital Dental Impressions

In the past, impressions were created by placing large, gag-inducing clumps of putty within the mouth. Not only was this uncomfortable, but the results weren’t always as accurate as they could be. With our iTero digital dental impression system, we’re able to capture a detailed blueprint of your teeth and gums within a couple of minutes. We can then send the digital file to our dental laboratory to craft your restoration, mouthguard, or aligners to perfectly fit your smile.

3D Printers

3D printers are becoming more commonly incorporated into dental offices, as they can be used for a variety of treatments. By linking them with our digital impression system, we’re able to print surgical guides to place dental implants with outstanding precision, clear aligners, and much more. Additionally, by incorporating this technology in-office, patients won’t have to wait as long to begin their treatments.

Intraoral Cameras

Our intraoral camera is a wand-shaped device with a camera on the tip of it that allows our team to gain an up-close, detailed view of hard-to-see areas of the mouth. With the capability to capture live video footage as well as still images, we often use this device to show patients first-hand the dental issues that they’re dealing with. It’s incredibly advantageous when it comes to educating our patients about problems as well as offer diagnoses with even greater confidence.

All-Digital Dental X-Rays

In the past, film was used to capture X-rays, exposing patients to radiation as well as requiring harmful chemicals to develop the images. Today, we utilize safer and more advanced digital technology to capture X-rays. Working similarly to a digital camera, we can snap a photo showing the underlying structures of your mouth and teeth, giving our dentists a better understanding of your dental health. These will then be immediately viewable on a chairside monitor and digitally stored, allowing our team to continue referencing them at each of your checkups and cleanings to monitor any changes.

Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry

Dental lasers are pen-shaped devices that emit a concentrated beam of energy from the tip. This laser is able to remove severely damaged and decayed tissue, reshape gumlines, and fit dental restorations without the need for a scalpel and sutures. Because it immediately cauterizes the area on-contact, patients are able to enjoy a significantly shorter recovery period, less bleeding and swelling, and reduced risk of post-operative infection.

Cavity Detection System

Cavities don’t just develop on the biting surface of teeth—they also form in-between them, making it incredibly difficult to tell where decay is developing with the naked eye. To ensure that no stone goes left unturned at each of your routine checkups, we utilize a cavity detection system that highlights even the earliest signs of decay. That way, we can quickly treat them before they have a chance to cause additional damage.
